The integration of Real-time data generation and management in all vehicle and parts production processes helps to overcome market and supply chain challenges. Lucas Majewski, Global Director of Automotive/EV Industry, Factory Automation, at Mitsubishi Electric, explains this in detail in the videocast "Trends in Automotive - Data means Energy".
Relay for charging infrastructure of electric vehicles
Due to the ever-growing demand in the private sector, Schukat focuses its range of relays on electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure. The AZEV116, AZEV132 and AZEV140 series single pole relays from note are specially designed for use in charging cables Designed according to IEC 62752 for charging mode 2 electric vehicles. If the worst comes to the worst, they use their monitoring contact to signal that the load contact has welded.
Data utility for lithium-ion battery production
26.07.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | The market for more sustainable electromobility solutions continues to grow. The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is increasing rapidly. The following applies here: The early bird catches the worm, or rather the load. Anyone who can produce large quantities of high-quality batteries in a timely manner in a recyclable, sustainable and cost-efficient manner is at the forefront. Explained in the "Lithium Ion Batteries" videocast Claus Petersen, how digital technologies can help the LIB industry to generate a competitive advantage with data.
Backlash-free multi-link hinges with self-calibrating plain bearings
The production of multi-joint hinges for spoiler kinematics and top can be expensive. With a Igus bearings An economical and technically superior construction made of tribologically optimized plastic is possible. The new iglidur F300 is even electrically conductive and can calibrate itself and prevent corrosion using the cathodic dip coating (KTL) process. Complicated recalibration is no longer necessary.
Sensor box for position detection of electric monorails
Schmersal represents a new one Magnetic track sensor box for the position detection of electric monorails in intralogistics and Automotive industry before. Wear-free magnetic switches have been used in the automotive industry for many years, where they monitor the speed and position of moving machine parts. Such electric monorails transport bodywork. a. to the assembly workstations. The SSB-R can now do that too, but much more precisely.
Sustainable thermoplastics digitized for the automotive industry
Sumika Polymer Compounds Europe (SPC Europe) and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence are working together to digitize the performance of new sustainable thermoplastics (PP) for the automotive industry. Based on the new multiscale technology for material modeling of thermoplastics, engineers can develop recyclable components and thus reduce the carbon footprint of future vehicles.
